The Wilkes Barre Veterans Affairs Medical Center Emergency Department Renovation is a one-story interior renovation. This is a very intricate renovation project due to the fact that the existing emergency department must remain operational during the entire construction process. The 14,000 square foot renovation will expand the emergency department into the existing canteen area. Some of the design features include reconfiguring a lateral braced frame, opening up existing walls, and installing new bariatric patient ceiling lifts.
